Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““it is not this Court’s function to disturb the jury’s factual determination. ‘It is a basic tenet of our system of jurisprudence that issues of credibility are properly left to the trier of fact for resolution.’ Commonwealth v. Whack, 482 Pa. 137, 140 , 393 A.2d 417, 419 (1978). In exercising this prerogative, ‘[t]he fact-finder is free to believe all, part, or none of the evidence.’ Commonwealth v. Rose, 463 Pa. 264, 268 , 344 A.2d 824, 826 (1975).””
